<h2 id="_introduction">1. Introduction</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Spice protocol defines a set of protocol messages for accessing, controlling,
and receiving inputs from remote computing devices (e.g., keyboard, video,
mouse) across networks, and sending output to them. A controlled device can
reside on either side, client and/or server. In addition, the protocol defines
a set of calls for supporting migration of a remote server from one  network
address to another. Encryption of transported data, with one exception, was
kept out of the protocol for maximum flexibility in choosing an encryption
method. Spice uses simple messaging and does not depend on any  RPC standard or
a specific transport layer.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Spice communication session is split into multiple communication channels
(e.g., every channel is a remote device) in order to have the ability to
control communication and execution of messages according to the channel type
(e.g. QoS encryption), and to add and remove  communication channels during run
time (which is supported by spice protocol definition). The following
communication channels are defined in the current protocol definition: a). the
main channel serves as the main spice session connection  b). display channel
for receiving remote display updates c). inputs channel for sending mouse and
keyboard events d). cursor channel for receiving pointer shape and position e).
Playback channel for receiving audio stream, and f). Record channel for sending
audio capture. More channel types will be added as the protocol evolves. Spice
also defines a set of protocol definitions for synchronizing channels`
execution on the remote site.</p></div>

reserved for development purposes and are considered unsupported and

version is incremented on every protocol change that does not break

Compatibility – UINT32[]
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In order to allow some degree of flexibility in client and server
implementation and in order to improve compatibility, spice protocol supports
bidirectional exchange of channels compatibilities. Compatibilities are
expressed in UINT32 vector that is split into two groups: common
compatibilities and channels compatibilities. Common compatibilities stands for
compatibilities shared by all channels, and  channels compatibilities stands
for channel specific compatibilities. Splitting the vector into two types
allows us to add channel compatibilities independently. Each compatibility is
expressed using one or more bits in the compatibilities vector.
For example capability 0 will be the low bit of the first (index 0) UINT32.</p></div>

Connection process
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The channel connection process is initiated by the client. The client sends
SpiceLinkMess. In response, the server sends SpiceLinkReply. When the client
receives  SpiceLinkReply, it examines the error code and in case there is no
error it encrypts its password with public key received in SpiceLinkReply and
sends it to the server. The server receive the password and sends the link
result to the client. The client examines the link result, and in case the
result equals to SPICE_LINK_ERR_OK, a valid connection is established.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Channel connection for channel types other then SPICE_CHANNEL_MAIN is allowed
only after the client has active SPICE_CHANNEL_MAIN channel connection.  Only one
SPICE_CHANNEL_MAIN connection is allowed, and this channel connection establishes
spice session with the remote server.</p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Ticketing
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Ticketing is a mechanism implemented in spice to ensure connections are opened
only from authorized sources. To enable this mechanism a ticket is set in spice
server consisting of a password and time validity. After time validity passes,
the whole ticket is expired. The ticket is encrypted. To encrypt, server
generates a 1024 bit RSA key and send the public part to the client (via
RedLinkInfo). Client uses this key to encrypt the password and send it back to
server (after SpiceLinkMess). Server decrypt the password, compare it to ticket
and ensure it was received within the allowed time-frame.</p></div>

Channel migration
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Spice supports migration of Spice server. The following common messages
combined with specific main channel messages is used for migrating channels
connections between spice servers. We will refer these servers as source and
destination. Main channel is used for initiating and controlling the migration
process. The following describes the actual channel migration process.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Channel migration process starts with sending SPICE_MSG_MIGRATE message from the
server. The client receives the message, examine the attached flags and: if the
server requests messages flush (i.e., SPICE_MIGRATE_NEED_FLUSH flag is on), the
client sends SPICE_MSGC_MIGRATE_FLUSH_MARK message to the server. This procedure can
be used to ensure safe delivery of all mid air messages before performing the
migration action.  if the server requests data transfer (i.e.,
SPICE_MIGRATE_NEED_DATA_TRANSFER flag is on), the client expects to receive one
last message from the server before migrating to destination. This message type
must be SPICE_MSG_MIGRATE_DATA type. The content of the received message will be
transmitted to the destination on connection swap.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Afterward, the client swaps communication channels (i.e., starts using the
connection with the destination server). The client can close connection with
the source server only after all other channels also have finished the
migration process. If the server side has requested data transfer, the client
first transmits SPICE_MSGC_MIGRATE_DATA message containing the data received on
SPICE_MSG_MIGRATE_DATA.</p></div>

Spice agent
</p>
<div class="paragraph" id="spice_agent"><p>Spice protocol defines a set of messages for bidirectional communication
channel between Spice client and spice client agent on the remote server. Spice
provides a communication channel only, the actual transferred data content is
opaque to the protocol. This channel can be used for various purposes, for
example, client-guest clipboard sharing, authentication and display
configuration.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Spice client receives notifications of remote site agent connection as part of
the SPICE_MSG_MAIN_INIT message or by a specific server SPICE_MSG_MAIN_AGENT_CONNECTED.
Remote agent disconnection notification is delivered by
SPICE_MSG_MAIN_AGENT_DISCONNECTED message. A bidirectional tokens mechanism is used
in order to prevent blocking of the main channel with agent messages (e.g., in
case the agent stops consuming the data). Each side is not allowed to send more
messages than the tokens allocated to it by the other side. The number of
tokens that are allocated for the client is initialized from SPICE_MSG_MAIN_INIT
message, and farther allocation of tokens is done using SPICE_MSG_MAIN_AGENT_TOKEN.
Server tokens initial count is delivered in SPICE_MSGC_MAIN_AGENT_START message. This
message must be the first agent related message that the client sends to the
server. Farther tokens allocation for the server is done using
SPICE_MSGC_MAIN_AGENT_TOKEN. Actual data packets are delivered using
SPICE_MSG_MAIN_AGENT_DATA and SPICE_MSGC_MAIN_AGENT_DATA.</p></div>
<div class="olist loweralpha"><ol class="loweralpha">
<li>
<p>
Although agent messages are opaque for the protocol, agent data stream is
defined by Spice protocol in order to delineate messages. Still, the
client-server communication is independent from the agent channel, e.g., agent
protocol conflicts don&#8217;t affect the rest of the channels. Agent stream is
defined as a run of messages having the following format:

client sends mouse motion message (i.e., msgc_inputs_mouse_motion), and in
client mouse mode it sends position message (i.e., msgc_inputs_mouse_position).
position message holds the position of the client mouse on the display and the
id of the display channel, which is derived from SpiceLinkMess.channel_id. in
order to prevent flood of mouse motion/position events, the server sends
red_inputs_mouse_motion_ack message on every red_motion_ack_bunch messages it
receive. this mechanism allows the client to keep track on  the server&#8217;s
messages consumption rate  and to change the event pushing policy according to
it. mouse button events are sent to the server using msgc_inputs_mouse_press
and msgc_inputs_mouse_release messages.</p></div>

Operation flow
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Spice server sends to the client a mode message using SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_MODE for
specifying the current draw area size and format. In response the client
creates a draw area for rendering all the followed rendering commands sent by
the server. The client will expose the new remote display area content (i.e.,
after mode command) only after it receives a mark command (i.e.,
SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_MARK) from the server. The server can send a reset command using
SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_RESET to instruct the client to drop its draw area and palette
cache.  Sending  mode message is allowed only while no active draw area exists
on the client side. Sending reset message is  allowed only while active draw
area exists on client side. Sending mark message is allowed only once, between
mode and reset messages. Draw commands, copy bits command and stream commands
are allowed only if the client have an active display area (i.e., between
SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_MODE to SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_RESET).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>On channel connection, the client optionally sends an init message, using
SPICE_MSGC_DISPLAY_INIT, in order to enable image caching and global dictionary
compression. The message includes the cache id and its size and the size of the
dictionary compression window. These sizes and id are determined by the client.
It is disallowed to send more then one init message.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Color pallets cache are manged by the server.
Items cache insertion commands are sent as part of  the rendering commands.
Cache items removal are sent explicitly using SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_INVAL_LIST or
SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_INVAL_LIST server messages. Resetting client caches is done by
sending SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_INVAL_ALL_PIXMAPS or SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_INVAL_ALL_PALETTES server
messages.</p></div>

Spice Image
</p>
<div class="paragraph" id="spice_image"><p>The following section describes Spice image. Spice image is used in various
commands and data structures for representing a raster image. Spice image
supports several compression types in addition to the raw mode: Quic, LZ and
GLZ. Quic is a predictive coding algorithm. It is a generalization of SFALIC
from gray-scale to color images withe addition of RLE encoding. By LZ we refer
to the our implementation of the LZSS algorithm, which was adjusted for images
in different formats. By GLZ we refer to an extension of LZ that allows it to
use a dictionary that is based on a set of images and not just on the image
being compressed.</p></div>

Video streaming commands
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Spice supports the creation of video streams by the server for rendering video
content on the client display area.  Unlike other rendering commands, the
stream data can  be compressed using lossy or video specific compression
algorithms. It is not required to render video frames as they arrive and it is
also allowed to drop video frames. This enables using video frames buffering
for having smoother playback and audio synchronization. Audio  synchronization
is achieved by  using time stamp that is attached to audio and video streams.
By using video streaming the network traffic can be dramatically reduced. When
the stream is created, the server sends create message using
SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_STREAM_CREATE. After the server creates a stream he can send data
using SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_STREAM_DATA, or set new stream clipping by sending clip
message using SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_STREAM_CLIP. Once the server no longer needs the
stream, he can send destroy command using SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_STREAM_DESTROY. The
server can also destroy all active streams by sending destroy all message using
SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_STREAM_DESTROY_ALL.</p></div>

defines a set of messages for managing cursor shape cache on the client site.
Client must strictly obey all such instructions. The server sends
SPICE_MSG_CURSOR_INIT to set current pointer state (i.e., shape, position, visibility
etc.) and to clear shape cache. After the server sends init message it can send
any other cursor command except for SPICE_MSG_CURSOR_INIT. The server can send
SPICE_MSG_CURSOR_RESET message - this will disable the cursor and reset the cursor
cache. After this message the only valid message the server can send is
SPICE_MSG_CURSOR_INIT. The relevant remote display area for a cursor channel is the
one of the display channel that has the same channel id (i.e.,
SpiceLinkMess.channel_id).</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>Spice supports transmitting of audio captured streams from the client to the
server. Spice server starts audio capturing using SPICE_MSG_RECORD_START message.
This message instructs the client to start transmitting captured audio . In
response, the client sends time stamp of the stream start using
SPICE_MSGC_RECORD_START_MARK. After the client sends start mark it can start
transmitting audio stream data using SPICE_MSGC_RECORD_DATA. One mode message must be
sent by the client before any other message using SPICE_MSGC_RECORD_MODE. This, in
order to inform the server on what type of data will be transferred. Mode
message can also be transmitted at any other time in order to switch the data
type delivered by SPICE_MSGC_RECORD_DATA. The Server can send SPICE_MSG_RECORD_STOP for
stopping captured audio streaming. Sending a start message is allowed only
while the stream is in stop state. Sending a stop message and data messages is
allowed only while the stream is in start state. Sending mark message is
allowed only between start message and the first data message.</p></div>
